I HOPE TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO PAUSE FOR A MOMENT,ADMIRE THE CLOUDS, CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN, GAZE AT THE STARS,TRAVEL TO THE DESTINATION YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO VISIT,OR JUST GET OUT TO EXPLORE YOUR OWN BACKYARD.

It's almost time and I hope you are as excited as I am to #OptOutside on November 25. I have really enjoyed sharing images every day this month about why I choose to #OptOutside. I hope you have caught a few on Instagram and that it has inspired you to spend time outside this Friday (and throughout the year).

But in case you are on the fence about it and think this whole #OptOutside movement might not really be for you... well it is totally for you! It is for each of us to spend time in nature in a way that brings joy to our lives. I love mountains and rivers and wild adventures. But I also love the amazing details found wandering in my backyard. It doesn't matter where you go on Friday. The point is that you get out there in nature and choose to consume experiences. Where ever you go (you're in right?), I hope you breathe the fresh air, look up at the sky, crunch through the snow or leaves, and lean in to admire the beauty of the moment.
